A Colombian court has convicted former President Álvaro Uribe of witness manipulation, making him the country’s first ex-leader to be found guilty of a crime. The ruling, issued on Monday, confirms that Uribe sought to influence testimonies to avoid being linked to far-right paramilitary groups—a case dating back to 2012 when he baselessly accused leftist Senator Iván Cepeda. Prosecutors are seeking a 9-year prison sentence, marking a historic milestone in Colombia’s fight against elite impunity.<br /><br />#ÁlvaroUribe #Colombia #Justice #Paramilitarism #teleSUREnglish
